Kristen Lee and Brady Cunningham share their collection and secrets to living well in L.A.

"New York is very serious about fashion; that doesn't fly here," says Kristen Lee, co-owner of the L.A. boutique TenOverSix. "Our aesthetic is artistic, eclectic, and, most importantly, fun." To that end, Lee and her partner Brady Cunningham have designed their own label of Technicolor accessories and grunge-inspired coats for fall. Adding to their roster of designers such as Rachel Comey and Charles Anastase, the friends have created round-toed pumps, totes, envelope clutches, and weekend bags in quilted leather splashed with irregular stripes of house paint. "We started off without the paint, but we decided to add a little humor to the ones we sell in the shop," Lee says. They've also collaborated on pop-art pins made of acrylic and wood with furniture designer and artist Steven Shein. Born of their mutual adoration for Vivienne Westwood, the capelike coats are designed by Cunningham, who worked on the collection just before her wedding to actor Jason Schwartzman this past summer. They're also offering made-to-order versions of the four styles, including a choice of vintage fabrics and whimsical detachable hoods. "I wore a prototype in New York, and I was mobbed all day by people asking where it came from," Lee says. We're predicting a similar frenzy on the West Coast.

1. The Cheese Store of Silverlake: "They have artisanal cheese and local wines—and you can taste everything and get great recommendations from the staff. It's our first stop when we're having a dinner party."

2. Book Soup: "A cult favorite in L.A. for its hard-to-find titles and knowledgeable staff. That's why we are so pleased they're opening a concession in TenOverSix!"

3. Amoeba Music: "The L.A. independent music original. The people-watching is as good as the music."

4. Shima sushi: "This is the best sushi outside of Japan (can we say that?). It's very California in that everything is healthy, and the extra-thick nori in the hand rolls and freshly made wasabi are a serious treat. Even the decor is wabi-sabi perfection."

5. The Urban Pet: "We're all a bit obsessed with our pets, so we go here for fantastic gear for our Frenchies, mixes, and hairless cats."

6. Joan's on Third: "A French press and buttery croissant for breakfast, and we're suddenly not in L.A.!"

7. The Tower Bar: "This bar is so glamorous, dark, and sexy. Drinks here take you to another Hollywood era."

8. Hollywood Bowl: "Sitting in the mountainy open-air amphitheater, listening to a favorite band, we suddenly miss New York a little less...."

9. The Cinefamily at the Silent Movie Theater: "Where we go for documentaries and art films curated by the most serious cinephiles."

10. The Museum of Jurassic Technology: "The strange installations here help us see something beautiful—like an animal or a flower—through a scientific lens."

11. Coppola Wines: "The Rosso table wine is our go-to for everyday. It's a great price and delicious."

12. Luxe City Guides: "The L.A. edition (edited by our co-owner Joe Cole) is the best for visitors."

13. The Charlie: "We're living here at the moment. Charlie Chaplin once stayed here; now it's been converted into a hotel."
